Jacob Rees-Mogg said it would be ‘disloyal’ to go to a vegan restaurant – the only 9 replies you need
Jacob Rees-Mogg revealed on Twitter he won’t be going to a vegan restaurant any time soon because it would be ‘disloyal’ to some of his constituents.
The time-travelling Tory MP made the comment in a tweet about his buddy William Sitwell, the former Waitrose mag editor who stepped down after an unfortunate vegan ‘joke’ and has now turned up at the Torygraph.

The idea that Rees-Mogg would think it ‘disloyal’ to eat vegan because his constituency has a bunch of dairy farms in it struck some people as a little weird, others totally bizarre.

Does that mean that you don’t go to Italian restaurants? Or eat haggis? You drink french wine, Brandy and champagne not cider. Open your mind a crack, food is food whether you are vegan or not, a restaurant is a tax paying, employing business – you should support that as an MP

As West Yorkshire is predominantly wet and cold, I would feel disloyal going somewhere hot and sunny on my holidays but it's nice to see Judith Chalmers doing it.

It’s probably time for nanny to move you onto solids. You can’t drink milk all your life.

On the other hand you would be supporting local business and as an MP, broadening your experience of your constituents. I’m not vegan but wouldn’t think a trip to a vegan establishment to be disloyal.

Will you feel disloyal to your constituents if we have no deal and tariffs on beef of 40%+ are imposed on exports under WTO rules?

Yeah-wouldn’t want to patron a business which relies on customers to make money and pay taxes-make a political stand 🙄

Would it be disloyal if you went once perhaps? I inadvertently tried one a few months ago and whilst I didn’t wholly enjoy, I would class this as freedom of choice rather than disloyalty.

Not that disloyal though. https://t.co/WS6OsjjCbn
